| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
SZOP Opportunities I LLC - 5,184,958* SZOP Multistrat LP - 5,184,958* SZOP Multistrat Management LLC - 5,184,958* Kerry Propper - 5,184,958* Antonio Ruiz-Gimenez - 5,184,958* *The common stock (the "Shares") of Fold Holdings, Inc. (the "Issuer") reported herein represents Shares that may be purchased by SZOP Opportunities I LLC (the "Holding Company") pursuant to an Equity Purchase Facility Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated June 16, 2025, between the Holding Company and the Issuer. The Holding Company is wholly owned by the private fund, SZOP Multistrat LP (the "Fund"). SZOP Multistrat Management LLC serves as the investment manager to the Fund (the "Adviser"). Antonio Ruiz-Gimenez and Kerry Propper are the control persons of the Adviser (the "Control Persons", and collectively with the Holding Company, Fund, and Adviser, the "Reporting Persons"). By virtue of these relationships, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares that the Holding Company may be required to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, at the Issuer's sole discretion, the Holding Company may be required to purchase Shares, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of the Purchase Agreement. One of such limitations is that the Purchase Agreement prohibits the Holding Company from purchasing any Shares, which, when aggregated with all other Shares then beneficially owned by the Holding Company and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Holding Company and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the Shares outstanding (the "Ownership Limitation"). For the sake of clarity, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons is also subject to a contractual limitation that prohibits it from acquiring beneficial ownership of any Shares to the extent that it and its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Shares outstanding. As such, the percent of class reported herein is giving effect to the Ownership Limitation and is based upon a statement in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on July 28, 2025 that there were 46,716,520 Shares outstanding as of July 1, 2025 plus the approximate total number of Shares that the Reporting Persons may acquire at the direction of the Issuer (subject to the Ownership Limitation) in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act. For the sake of clarity, the Holding Company does not own any Shares as of the date of the filing and is electing to file this Schedule 13G solely to the extent that, for the purposes of Section 240.13d-3, the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The filing of this report shall not be deemed an admission, for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest, if any, therein. | |
